FAYETTEVILLE, NC.–The Old North State Chapter of Freerepublic.net is pleased to announce that they and several other groups will be rallying together in a show of respect and support for our troops, our veterans and our country. Veterans, military families and all who support the efforts of the United States of America, in liberating the people of Iraq and in the war on terrorism, are invited to join us in Fayetteville on Saturday, March 20 between 11:30 AM and 4PM.
Freepers from VA, SC, NC and Washington, DC; members of Rolling Thunder ®, Inc; various Veterans groups; military wives and others will be gathering in response to a United for Peace demonstration, that will be running concurrently in the same location.
Freepers are asked to come at 10:00 AM to the grassy knoll near the old CVS, across from Freedom Park. The main event will take place at Rowan St. Park, Woodside Avenue, Fayetteville, NC. This rally, like all Freeper rallies across the country for the past six years, will be peaceful and educational.
Rolling Thunder, Inc. is a registered Veteran Organization that focuses on POW and MIA issues.
Freerepublic.net: A New Political Force
December 2000 marked a subtle turning point in American history, as citizens from the right side of the political spectrum joined forces all across the country to defend the legitimate election of President George W. Bush. Protests in more than 250 cities were organized on the Free Republic Forum -- the first conservative protests ever to occur on such a scale. Subsequently, Freerepublic.net was formed to help ensure that grassroots activists will be able to respond quickly and effectively to any future threats to our Constitutional rights.
Free Republic members have had tremendous success exposing the tactics of the Communist front groups-- such A.N.S.W.E.R., Code Pink, and United for Peace-- who present themselves as pacifists and populists, but use the “cause du jour” to further their own anti-republican agendas.
By harnessing the power of the Internet, the Free Republic Forum gave birth to a new level of grassroots activism that demonstrates how dedicated citizens can effect change by awakening and mobilizing the vast numbers of Americans who still support the rule of law.
The product of our desire to do something meaningful to retain our God-given freedoms is the Free Republic Network.

I'll be taking sign inventory tomorrow, I have a couple dozen large signs left from a year ago. Since there is a sign size limit I guess I won't bother to bring the 10' long FR banner then.
